“…Although addiction affects sexual behavior in different ways, it can lead to the exchange of sex for drugs and / or money, innumerable anonymous partners, and a greater likelihood of relating to social networks with a high prevalence of STIs (WENDLAND et al, 2018a;PAQUETTE et al, 2017;PLITT, et al, 2007;SEMPLE, et al, 2005;RAWSON, et al, 2002). We define drug users in this chapter as those who are addicted to the use of opiates (e.g., heroin), cocaine (e.g., freebase and crack), and methamphetamine (meth), and marijuana.…”

“…In a study conducted in Brazil, between 2016 and 2017, with 8,562 participants aged up to 25 years old in the 26 Brazilian state capitals and in the Federal District, the prevalence of reporting having syphilis at least once was 12.8%: 10.7% in women and 14.2% in men. The factors associated with STI reporting were: men who have sex with men (MSM) and use of drugs and alcohol 22 . In Brazil, in 2016, a study carried out with 38,247 conscripts, aged 17 to 22 years old, found a prevalence of 1.09% of confirmed syphilis.…”

“…The incidence reported in Mexico was 42%, and that in Brazil was 31.9% over a period of four years [ 26 ]. The higher prevalence of genital lesions in men could be explained by the higher frequency of STIs in this population [ 17 ]. A previous study performed in the women from a region on the North of Brazil associated HPV with other STIs, suggesting that individuals with HPV infection are at an increased risk of having another STI [ 27 ].…”
